The difference between a report and a dashboard
Most people use these words interchangeably.
They're not the same thing.
A report tells you what happened.
A dashboard shows you what's happening.
The difference:
Report → static, detailed, built for documentation
Dashboard → dynamic, visual, built for decisions
The mistake I see most often:
People build dashboards that are actually just reports.
The result?
— Decision makers scroll through pages of data
— Numbers are outdated by the time anyone reads them
— No one knows what to act on
The fix is simple:
A report answers: "What happened last month?"
A dashboard answers: "What do I need to do right now?"
When you design for the right purpose:
Reports become clear records.
Dashboards become decision tools.
One looks back. The other drives forward.
